This Office button is similar to what we were used to as the File Menu. When you click on this Office button, you can see various file commands as shown in the figure. The options like New, Open, Save and others are quite familiar. Next to the menu list we have Recent Documents list. The documents that you have been working with overtime would be displayed under this section. Just click on this pin and it turns green to indicate that the document is now pinned to the Recent Documents List.
Options like Save As, Print and others have a small arrow next to them which indicates that there are sub-options for these. When you hover over your mouse on these options, their sub-options will be displayed in the area where previously recent documents were displayed.
On the lower right hand corner there are two buttons:- Word Options : In earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you set your preferences for view, display, save, proofing and editing settings in the Options dialog box under Tools menu. Exit Word : Exit Word will allow you to close your documents and totally exit from Word. Ribbon When you launched Microsoft Word for the first time, you must have noticed a totally different composition in the place of Menus and Toolbars, because the menus and toolbars have been replaced by a context sensitive ribbon.
This is the major change in Word The ribbon spreads across the screen from left to right and contains all the commands and the difference here is; it is context sensitive. This means that it is going to change as you work with your documents in Word. For example, if you are working with a table, the ribbon displays the various table commands and tools.
If you are working with pictures, the ribbon displays various options available for pictures. These tabs are organized according to the category of commands. All these groups are related to Page Layout. So these are easy to locate. Like we had mentioned earlier, the ribbon changes as you work on your document. So the Home tab is selected we would find a different set of groups like Clipboard group, Font group, Paragraph group, and so on.
Each of this group in the tab has some buttons that represent some commands that you may want to use in that group. As you hover over them we get a small description of what these commands would do. What if you are not able to find a command that you are looking for? That is because there are only a few commands that are always visible in the group at a glance.
You can notice that some of these groups have a diagonal arrow icon at the bottom right hand corner. This little arrow launches a dialog box, so we can call it a dialog box launcher. The dialog box will have another set of options which you can set. This will be similar to the dialog boxes we used in the previous versions of Word. The dialog has its own help button and a close button in the top right hand corner apart from the usual OK and Cancel buttons. Clicking the Office button displays the Office menu, which is sort of like the traditional File menu.
It offers basics such as New, Open, and Save commands, along with some newcomers, like Prepare and Publish. In the figure below, I've purged the Recent Documents list not that I have anything to hide , but it took awhile to find the option that controls that display. In the pane on the right, go to Display. Access limits you to a maximum of nine. Just click OK when you're finished. A gallery is a palette of prefab formatting attributes you can apply to various elements in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
Examples include tables, styles, charts, and PowerPoint themes, shown here. Along with the gallery feature comes Live Preview, which is aptly named. When you move the mouse over the various selections in a gallery, your document takes on the formatting attributes of the current selection -- just as a preview. So you can flit from one choice to another and try on the various sets of formatting without committing to anything until you're ready.
In the image below, I was spinning through the offerings in the gallery of table styles. The Mini Toolbar is a ghost toolbar that appears when you select text.
It hovers there in the ether unless you move the mouse pointer over it, when it materializes with several buttons for common text formatting tasks. Move off it or click somewhere else, and it disappears.
When you move the mouse pointer over items in the Ribbon, you'll see Enhanced ScreenTips. They'll probably come in handy for novice users and those who are learning the Office ropes.
More experienced users may not pay much attention to them, although in some cases, they should. Galleries are graphical representations of formatting options you can apply to given elements in an Office document. While some gallery options are simple formatting changes, as they were in previous Office environments e.
It is not easy to fully map this function directly to the way older Office suites worked. Think of these as end-result oriented commands. Consider the following Galleries example. To add and format a footer in Word , you would select the Insert tab, and then the Footer options. The Footer Gallery will open, displaying options directly affecting the appearance of the footer.
Several options will be available, including a three column footer, an "Austere" footer, and a simple unformatted footer. Selecting the Austere footer gives you a footer with a specific font, a colored page number, and a section in which to enter a company name. As another example, the three column footer wouldn't specify colors or fonts, but would make available three columns in the footer area.
Contrast that to previous Word versions, which would require many more clicks to format each individual element of the Austere footer that you can create with just three clicks in Word In summary, Galleries simplify the act of formatting a document's elements by placing them in one location. Some Galleries require no fewer clicks than in earlier Office versions, but others combine what would have been many individual settings and commands into a single click.
